Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 167

Ronald glanced at his wristwatch before his gaze drifted over to the dining area. Seeing Stella diligently munching on her food brought a softness to his eyes. "Is Yorick still tied up with the thing about Wave Residence?"

Wave Residence, that was Yorick's dream project, intended to provide a healing space for the Larkin family's adopted daughter.

A tough guy in his prime, Thane was. A wolf raising a pup, must be heart-wrenching for him.

Idris nodded, "Yes."

Ronald said, "Call Thane back and tell him..."

He trailed off as he noticed Stella spitting out the donut she had been eating into her napkin. It seemed she had bitten into something unpleasant, grimacing and gulping down water to rinse her mouth.

Ronald's expression darkened slightly. His tone hardened, "Just say his son's situation is urgent."

Idris was speechless.

His son’s situation was urgent?

If Thane heard this, he'd probably want to throttle Yorick.

What could possibly be so urgent with Yorick now? His fiery affair with Ursula was all the rage, especially with the pressing matter of Wave Residence.

Speaking of Yorick, Idris couldn't help but comment, "How did Thane end up with such a character for a son? Even a Casanova should choose wisely. It's like he wants to end the Quarry lineage."

And Ursula's reputation didn't help.

From what they had dug up, Yorick's choice in women was...disappointing, to say the least.

Ronald chuckled, "That's why Thane should be worried about his son right now."

Idris caught Ronald's drift, realizing the cunning plan.

Those people, Ronald seemed indifferent, but after how they've treated Stella over the years, retaliation was inevitable.

Idris nodded, "I'll send the message now."

Once Idris left, Ronald motioned to the butler lurking in the shadows, who approached respectfully, "Sir?"

"Fire the entire kitchen staff today."

The butler’s heart shook at his words.

"Those measly assets in their hands are wasted."

Stella remained silent, recalling Ronald's intention to hand over the entire Larkin family's assets to her.

She wasn't particularly interested, but seeing Ronald about to leave, she didn't press further.

As Ronald predicted, the Larkin family was clueless. They hadn’t figured out what was the problem until now.

Soon after Ronald left, Stella received a call from Tabitha, informing her that Jeremy was looking for her in the office, likely over the ring incident.

"Tell him I'll need an hour."

"Got it."

After hanging up, Stella prepared to get changed upstairs.

As she head out, her phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number.

"The curtains at Wave Residence should be about replaced by now."
